Description
http://build.fhir.org/search.html#combining describes three ways of "combining" search parameters, which I'd summarize as:
- "AND search parameter" – e.g., Patient?language=FR&language=NL for French/Dutch bilingual patients
- "OR search parameter" – e.g., Patient?language=FR,NL for patients who speak at least one of French or Dutch
- "Composite search parameter" – e.g., Group?characteristic-value=gender$mixed for Groups with a single characteristic that means "gender: mixed" (rather than, say, one characteristic meaning "gender: male" and another meaning "preferred Chex cereal format: mixed", which you might inadvertently match with a non-composite query like{{Group?characteristic=gender&value=mixed}}).
... but these definitions are all grouped under a heading called "Composite Search Parameters". The element ID ("#combining") is clearer, since "AND" and "OR" parameters are not examples of "composite" search parameters.
We should:
- Rename this section to "Combining Search Parameters"
- Eliminate the introductory sentences "
Composite search parameters support joining single values with a $. For example, the result of the search operation is the intersection of the resources that match the criteria specified by each individual search parameter." which are mis-placed and belong in the bottom paragraph of the section (but they're already effectively communicated by the text present in the bottom paragraph).
